1. Turn off the engine and remove the keys from the ignition. This will prevent any accidental damage to the radio or electrical system.
2. Locate the four screws that hold the radio in place. They are located in the corners of the radio faceplate.
3. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the four screws. Be careful not to drop the screws into the dashboard.
4. Once the screws are removed, pull the radio out of the dashboard. It may be necessary to use a trim removal tool to help pry the radio out.
5. Disconnect the electrical connectors from the back of the radio. There will be two or three connectors, depending on the model of radio.
6. Remove the radio from the vehicle.
To install a new radio, simply reverse the order of these steps.
Tips:
- If the radio is difficult to pull out, try using a trim removal tool to help pry it out.
- Be careful not to drop the screws into the dashboard.
- If the new radio does not fit, you may need to purchase a mounting kit.
- If you have any questions or concerns, consult with a qualified technician.
